The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved – Supermarket Survival

This blog post summarizes and comments on ideas from Sandor Katz's 2006 book "The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved." It argues for local, small-scale, regenerative food systems and criticizes industrial agriculture, supermarket food, overregulation, hygiene-driven centralization, and chemical-intensive farming. The piece frames good food as a form of cultural and political resistance.
